The officer was initially relieved of duty with pay, but on Nov. 6 removed himself from the department's payroll, police said.

In court documents, police allege that the veteran officer grabbed Ms. Lewis by her arms and threw her into a wall, knocking her down. Records state the victim was grabbed by the wrists and repeatedly shoved into a kitchen counter.

She was treated for her injuries at Mercy St. Anne's Hospital.
